Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The largest number of committees that can be formed is determined by the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the number of juniors (621) and seniors (897). The GCD of 621 and 897 is 69, meaning the largest number of committees that can be formed, where each committee has the same number of juniors and the same number of seniors, is 69.
